WHAT? A WHEAT STEM?

Wheat stems were the drinking straws that we used on a daily basis
before the nasty invention of plastic ones.
PAPER STRAWS vs WHEAT STRAWS
One may argue that disposable paper straws are an alternative.
However, their production is tedious and uses lots of chemicals and they get soggy in a couple of minutes. Hence, they are far from ideal.
Wheat Stems straws are not processed and are a sustainable solution.
